====Changes from Previous====
These are direct changes from previous information

*In the original lore, [[Lorgar]] himself led the Word Bearers on Terra.{{Fn|1a}} However as of the events of the novel [[Slaves to Darkness (Novel)|Slaves to Darkness]], Lorgar is banished from Horus' sight for attempting to usurp him and instead the Word Bearers at Terra were led by [[Zardu Layak]].{{Fn|4}}
*The [[Sky Fortress]] was used for the defense of the Eternity Gate, not for the retaking of the Lion's Gate Spaceport by Jaghatai Khan.{{Fn|1d}}
*Sanguinius was able to crack a small chink out of Horus' armour, which the Emperor later exploits.{{CMEFn|1d}} This is not present in the Black Library novels.*The Emperor is insistent that he be brought back to the throne after defeating Horus, whereas in the novels he is unconscious and they discover a tarot guide of the throne to guide them to the conclusion.{{CMEFn|27j}}
